I called the Virginia Cooperative Extension tree fruit specialist at Virginia Tech. He agrees that it's probably not the doggie doo, but wonders whether these two trees get drier or wetter soil, and they probably do. He said cutting them back would be a good idea. He also said I should pull the fruits off the other trees, I shouldn't let them fruit the first year. I am going to try to move them, it can't get any worse, one of them has no leaves now and the other's leaves are quite dried out. We had a longish spell of hot dry weather, I guess the trees got stressed? It's just that the others didn't seem stressed, and I was busy and didn't really focus on these two until it was too late.
